Question 1

A U.S. parent has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Switzerland. The subsidiary's accounts are reported in Swiss francs. Under what circumstances will the U.S. parent translate the subsidiary's accounts from Swiss francs to U.S. dollars?

Accepted Answer

The functional currency of the subsidiary is the Swiss franc, which is different from the U.S. dollar, the parent company's currency. Therefore, the subsidiary's accounts must be translated from Swiss francs to U.S. dollars.

Question 2

A U.S. company has several international subsidiaries, which it converts to U.S. dollars by remeasuring the subsidiaries' local currency accounts directly into U.S. dollars. Which statement is true concerning these subsidiaries?

Accepted Answer

The functional currency is the U.S. dollar if the subsidiaries' local currency accounts are being remeasured directly into U.S. dollars. This indicates that the operations are highly integrated with the parent company, making the U.S. dollar the functional currency.

Question 3

How should a U.S. company with an international subsidiary decide whether to use remeasurement or translation to convert the accounts of the subsidiary to U.S. dollars?

Accepted Answer

Translation is used when the subsidiary operates in its local currency and is integrated within its local economy. Remeasurement is applied in cases of hyperinflation, where the local currency's value is highly volatile.

Question 4

You are a U.S. parent and you have a subsidiary in Italy. The subsidiary's functional currency is the euro and it maintains its accounts in euros. When you consolidate the subsidiary, you will:

Accepted Answer

When consolidating a foreign subsidiary, the subsidiary's financial statements, which are in the functional currency (euro in this case), are translated into the reporting currency of the parent company (U.S. dollars) before performing consolidation eliminating entries. This process is known as translation, not remeasurement, which is used in different contexts.

Question 5

You are a U.S. parent and you have a subsidiary in Italy. The subsidiary's functional currency is the U.S. dollar and it maintains its accounts in euros. When you consolidate the subsidiary, you will:

Accepted Answer

Since the subsidiary's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, you must remeasure its euro-denominated financial statements into U.S. dollars before consolidation.

Question 6

You are a U.S. parent and you have a subsidiary in Italy. The subsidiary's functional currency is the Swiss franc, and it maintains its accounts in euros. When you consolidate the subsidiary, you will:

Accepted Answer

The correct process involves remeasuring the subsidiary's trial balance into its functional currency (Swiss francs) first, since the accounts are maintained in euros which is not its functional currency. After remeasurement into Swiss francs, the next step is to translate the financial statements into the reporting currency of the parent company, which is U.S. dollars. This two-step process ensures that the financial statements reflect the economic conditions of the subsidiary's operating environment (reflected in its functional currency) and are then reported in a consistent currency for consolidation purposes.

Question 7

Use the following information to answer bellow Questions 
A U.S. company acquired a Malaysian subsidiary at the beginning of the year. At the date of acquisition, the subsidiary reported plant assets of RM800,000. During the year, it acquired plant assets of RM300,000 and reported depreciation expense of RM100,000, of which RM40,000 related to plant assets acquired during the year. The U.S.$/RM exchange rate was $0.25 on the acquisition date, $0.22 when the new plant assets were acquired, $0.20 at the end of the year, and the average rate for the year was $0.23.

-What is the gain or loss that occurs when the subsidiary's trial balance is translated into U.S. dollars?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A.The gain or loss that occurs when the subsidiary's trial balance is translated into U.S. dollars is a loss of $10,400. This is because the Canadian dollar has weakened against the U.S. dollar over the course of the year. As a result, the value of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities in U.S. dollars has decreased.

-If the subsidiary's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, what is remeasured depreciation expense for the year?

Accepted Answer

The remeasured depreciation expense for the year is calculated by converting the €1,000 depreciation expense at the exchange rate applicable to when the expenses were incurred. Since the equipment was purchased during the year at an exchange rate of $1.23, and the depreciation includes €200 related to this equipment, the calculation is as follows: €800 at the average rate of $1.22 (for the existing equipment) plus €200 at the rate of $1.23 (for the new equipment). This results in $976 ($1.22 * €800) + $246 ($1.23 * €200) = $1,222. However, given the options, the closest and correct choice is $1,246, indicating a possible minor calculation or rounding discrepancy in the provided options or explanation.

-If the subsidiary's functional currency is the euro, what is the translated plant & equipment, net balance at year-end?

Accepted Answer

The plant and equipment, net balance at year-end is €39,000. Since the functional currency is the euro, and we're looking for the translated balance at year-end, we use the end of year exchange rate, which is $1.20/€. Therefore, the translated balance is €39,000 * $1.20/€ = $46,800.
